Ringing the changes - PCIG now AiG


For the past five years, Clarion Gaming has produced an event for the Asia Pacific region branded Pacific Congress on I-Gaming (PCIG). That event doubled in size in 2007 attracting over 200 delegates, and organisers expect it may double again in 2008, given the high level of interest in the potential of the Asian markets.

This anticipated growth will come from a concerted focus on marketing the event to Asian operators, developers and marketing partners. To reflect this new focus, the event will now be known as the Asian I-Gaming Congress and Expo or AiG, modeled after its successful European counterpart, EiG.

The next AiG will be among the first gambling-related conferences to be held at the fabulous new Venetian hotel and conference center in Macau. Scheduled for February 26-29, 2008, the conference will maintain its focus on i-gaming opportunities in Asia, while including coverage of the established industry in Australia and the emerging Indian market.

The AiG team is working to expand its outreach to new companies and new countries in the region to make this the most comprehensive conference and expo for the remote gambling industry in Asia. To achieve this, it is working with Beacon Events, one of the most reputable and successful conference companies in the region.

Two specialized days added to the core conference in 2008 will be of prime interest to delegates. One is an investment seminar exploring both public and private investment options in the region. It will focus on the opportunities and challenges for investors in this growing industry and is sure to be an excellent one-day event for those in search of investment as well as those seeking to invest.

Another add-on day will look at the marketing challenges inherent to the region. For those looking for a review of the pertinent laws in various countries, as well as feedback on the types of marketing and advertising methods that work best for the myriad of cultures living in this region, this will be the chance to meet the experts and learn.
